TLbc Capture of tbe Slave Sbip Cora. 

(The Last Slaver Taken by the U. S.) 
T/ie Painthig owned by the Saint Nicholas Society. 



On the 2oth of November, 1866, Mr. Van Heemskerck 
Van Beest, an artist of Utrecht, Holland, wrote to the 
Saint Nicholas Society stating that he had formerly been 
an officer in the Dutch Navy, and that he had long 
desired to offer to the Society some testimonial of his 
appreciation of the action of the Society in entertaining 
the officers of the Dutch Frigate, '* de Prins von Orange, " 
on the 26th of May, 1853. He proposed to present to 
the Society as such testimonial a painting, thinking that 
as the great Civil War recently terminated had abolished 
slavery forever in the U. S., a proper subject would be 
" The Capture of the Last Slave Ship by a U. S. Vessel." 

This letter was duly acknowledged by the Society and 
the offer accepted. A year or so later the painting was 
received, and the artist received a formal note of thanks. ■ 
The records of the Society for 1867-68, now more than 
30 years ago, contain a voluminous correspondence 
relating to the offer of the painting and its acceptance 
by the Society. At that time the artist, Van Beest, was 
comparatively unknown, even in Holland; but since then 
he has taken a foremost place among marine painters, 
and now it is said no picture gallery in Holland is con- 
sidered complete without at least one of his works. 

The painting is particularly interesting at this time, 
as it represents the surrender of a vessel sailing under 



40 THE SLAVE SHIP CORA 

the flag of Spain. In the painting the colors of the 
Spanish flag and of the Stars and Stripes are clearly 
shown, making the scene singularly appropriate at the 
present time — the hauling down of the flag of Spain 
and the running up of "Old Glory." The half-tone 
print gives as good an idea of the painting as can be 
obtained in black and white. 

With this account of how the picture came into 
the possession of the Saint Nicholas Society, there 
is an interesting story connected with the subject 
represented. 

Early in this century, during President Monroe's ad- 
ministration, Great Britain and the United States made 
a treaty, the object of which was to suppress the African 
slave trade. By this treaty both countries agreed to 
keep off the coast of Africa a fleet to capture Slavers. 

In August, i860, the U. S. Man-of-war, the Constella- 
tion, was off the mouth of the Congo River on this duty, 
when one evening, as the officers and crew were on deck 
trying to get relief from the intense heat of a tropical 
day, the cry came from the mast-head, " Sail, Ho! " 

The officer of the deck sang out at once, "Silence 
fore-and-aft!" and then to the mast-head, ''Where 
away? " 

The executive officer, Donald Fairfax, afterwards the 
executive of the Kearsarge in her fight with the Alabama 
and later Rear Admiral, took command, and with his 
trumpet shouted order after order until the Constellation 
was put on her course in chase of the stranger with every 
sail set that would draw\ 

No one on board doubted that the vessel in sight was 
a Slaver. At that time no other trade would have a 
ship in those waters. 



THE SLAVE SHIP CORA 4I 

In addition to the excitement incidental to a chase, 

the prize money was of value to every one on board, the 

United States paying to the officers and crew half the 

value of the prize and $25 a head for each slave 

•rescued. 

The Slaver made every effort to escape, throwing 
every movable thing overboard, and finally set adrift a 
large row-boat full of negroes, thinking that the United 
States vessel would surely stop to rescue them. 

The chase lasted all night. Towards morning the 
Constellation began firing her great guns on the 
Slaver in an effort to cut away her rigging. This 
firing was a very serious matter, as the latter had 750 
negroes on board whose lives were in danger ; and it 
was learned later that her crew forced her captain to 
surrender and haul down the Spanish flag which he had 
been flying, fearing that some of the shots would take 
effect amongst themselves. The firing of the Constella- 
tion's guns did great damage to the rigging. 

This is the scene represented in the picture. The 
small boat containing the boarding officers can be just 
made out in the print of the painting. 

The prize proved to be the Cora, fitted out at New 
York, and sailing from this port to the coast of Africa 
on what was then called a trading voyage. As was the 
custom, the vessel after reaching the African coast 
changed commander .and crew and became a Slaver. 

The captured ship was taken to Liberia, the slaves 
landed, and then the vessel sailed for New York, where 
she arrived in December, i860, but a month after the 
election of Abraham Lincoln. 

The ship was condemned and sold, and her captain 
imprisoned, but he was never tried for piracy as the law 



42 THE SLAVE SHIP CORA 

at that time made the slave trade. He escaped and 
went South during the Civil War. No doubt his escape 
was made easy in consequence of the excited condition 
of the country owing to the breaking out of the great 
Civil War which was to abolish slavery forever. He was* 
undoubtedly also aided in his escape by those who fitted 
out the Slaver in New York, and also by the fact that 
the Government did not wish to too generally advertise 
that the vessel had been fitted out at a Northern port. 

It is a little singular, but true, that the Constellation 
was at this time commanded by a Southerner by birth, 
and was largely officered by slave holders, they having 
been appointed under the slave-holding administration. 

Those who care to read a truly dramatic story will 
find the original account of the chase and capture in 
the Century Magazine of May, 1894.
